How to Purify the Corruption at Har
risburg. We suppose that we may take it for granted
that our State Capital is an Augean stable
which needs cleansing. If any of our
renders have had occasion to visit Ilarrislmrg
during a session of the Legislature, they will
Well remember the mysterious beckoning into
corners, the whispered questions as to what
ho wants "put through," and tho assurance
that it can be done "if he will only make it
all right." If there is anything calculated to
disgust our honest men with elective govern
ment, it is a visit to that centre of email cor
ruption, and an interview with the jobbers and
lobbyists who throng the halls of legislation.
There is no use of pretending virtuous indig
nation, nor yet of shutting our eyes against
that which, however much to be regretted,
exists. What we now need is a remedy, and
a remedy which will be effective and perma
nent is a difficult matter to secure.
There Beeins, however, to bo a way of
escaping from the power of these corrupt
Representatives. The class who indulge in
this sort of business for there are many who
make it a business is divided into tho lobbyists
or outsiders, and the legislators or officials.
The size of our Legislature is such as to hold
forth a powerful inducement to bribery. Tho
House consists of one hundred members and
the Senate of thirty-three. On every question
on which there is any difference of opinion, tho
Senate must bo tolerably equally divided, so
that three or four votos will either pass or de
feat any public or privato bill. Tho con
sequences are, that if there be two corrupt
members of the Senate, they have a full oppor
tunity of plying their trade of black mail
utterly regardless of truth or decency,
and almost certainly escape detcteion.
In the House of Representatives the same
ia true to a greater extent, and as the
price of a vote is lower, it is easy to purchase
a greater number. The result is, that to be
a member of the State Legislature is to expose
yourself to unjust suspicions, and to bo
brought in contact with the lowest and vilest
kind of political chicanery. The corruption at
Harrisburg is seldom sufficiently large iu any
one instance to roach any show of respect-
nl.ilSt.r Sa L,n ....,11 l 1... !
ctsiiiLj, ullm ia ov tfvwj ) nvj niiKiLi, lo uti vmj
denominated thieving. We think that all this evil
can be-remedied by increasing the number of members
of the Legislature. If, instead of having one hun
dred and thirty-three, we wero to have five or
six hundred, there would le no chance for cor
ruption, or, at least, tho reward for the pur
chase of ono vote would be so small as to re
move all inducements to bribery.
This idea is acted upon in nearly all the
New England States. Tho Legislature of New
Hampshire numbers over five hundred, and
that of Vermont and Maine almost as largo a
number. In Massachusetts every town is en
titled to a delegate, and we never hear of cor
ruption to any extent being practised. If for
every county there were to be five or six, in
stead of one or two members, we would hold
out the strongest inducement to honesty by
removing all hoped-for benefits from crime. It
may be answered that the expense of such a
cumbersome body would bo enormous; but let
it be considered whether it does not cost tho
people more to engineer 'all tho bills through
the present corrupt organization, than it would
Jo honestly pay a larger number for doing
ilea" legitimate duty. We aro strongly in
favor ot tuis reform. "In the multitude of
- counsellors tlieiP safety," and we hope to see
the day when our Legislature will be of such a
size as to render all purchasing of votes futile.
We have proposed a remedy, so far as the
prevention of bribery is concerned; let us now
aim at its detection. As our laws now read,
both he who offers and lie who receives a bribe
. are amenable to punishment. The conse-
quence is that a league is established between
them, and an inducement held out to both to
profess ignorance. If pressed to the wall,
.either can refuse to testify for fear of crimi
nating himself, and tho matter is forever
nushed up. We propose that the law be so
amended as to make it criminal for a man to
receive a bribe, but not for a man to offer one.
We grant that any one who would attempt to
influence a public servant by such means de
serves punishment; but if the punisliment was
reserved for one party, it would make him
suspicious, and enable the public to de
tect the guilty representative, either by in
ducing the briWr to turn State's evidence, or
by securing proof of complicity by means of
such a decoy as is used in the 1'ost Office to
detect thieves. Under any circumstances, we
think that the result would be beneficial. If
the proposed reform were to be adopted, we
cannot but believe that much of the corrup
tion which now disgraces our State capital
would be remedied, and nn honst man not be
obliged to hesitate Wore he takes a seat in a
body with an almost disreputable reputation.
A Tent Measure.
The prompt passage by the House of Repre
sentatives, yesterday, of Mr. Kliot's bill for the
organization of a State Government in the
State of Louisiana, . promises to bring the
reconstruction question to a head very soon.
The bill will doubtless pass the Senate without
Mav We shall then see whether the acting
President intends to co-oporato with Congress
la restoring peace aA order to tue country,
TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, 'WEDNESDAY,
or whether ho intends to keep things in their
present unsettled and threatening condition.
If ho sliall sign the bill, all will bo well.
Should he, however, veto tho bill, it will
doubtless lx) promptly passed over his veto,
and then he must either back square down,
and execute the law, or, by refusing to do so,
make a clear and imperative case for impeach
ment. We welcome the passage of this bill, there
fore, not only as right and wise in itself, but
as Just tho thing to bring matters to a dis
tinct and unmistakable issue. We may as
well know at once whether our Government
is a Government of the people, through their
Representatives;7 in Congress assembled, or
whether the arbitary will of ono man is to
usurp the place of constitutional law.
"Nigging."
Mf.mitckh of Congress, finding that the pro
cess of coining ideas is entirely to trivial for
their mighty intellects, have secured the man
tlo of Hen. Jonson, and intend to supply tho
language'with a new set of words. Tho fol
lowing colloquy is found in yesterday's debate
on the Eliot bill:
'Mr. Spalding remarked tliat there was alto
gether too niucli niyginy in Mr. Le Blond's ol
tterv ai Inns.
"Mr. Le Rlond retorted that there wa little
else than niigin; tlono In this Congress, In
which hiscoilcuguo hud peilormjd a conspicu
ous part."
It is fortunate for our reputation that wo
were not in Mr. Le lilond's place, for the
chflrge of nigging (?) would have been to us
like O'Connell's epithet of "quadilateral" to a
fishwoinan, it would have utterly overwhelmed
us with the vastness and vagueness of insult.
With a laudable desiro to acquaint ourselves
with the new-coined word, we have consulted
Webster and Worcester, but by a strango acci
dent this elegant phrase has entirely escaped
them. We are accordingly left at sea in re
gard to what Congress.has been guilty of. Tho
mind recoils with horror from tho prospect
openedby a speculation as to what "nigging"
may mean. What can it be? "Congress has
done nothing but nigging." Is it the duty of
Congress "to nigg?" Can nigging mean rob
bing? Or is some other yet greater crime in
sinuated? We find each side uniting in the
accusation that the other does not only "nigg"
occasionally, but that during the entire ses
sion it has been iu tho habit of
indulging in that diversion. Now the
only things that are habitual to Congressmen
are talking, smoking, and drinking. It may
mean any one of these customs, but then Mr.
Spalding drags us away from this happy
solution by stating that "there was too much
nigging in Mr. Lo Blond's observations." Now,
then, may there not bo too much drinking in
his observations, or too much smoking, for they
wero all smoke. We must therefore infer that
"nigging" means talking. And if that bo tho
result, wo perfectly agree with both Messrs.
Spaulding and Le Blond in stating that there
has been too much "nigging." Yet this solu
tion is not final, and we still leave our columns
open to any one who can answer tho question,
"What does 'nigging' mean?"
Tim Gkkat Reform Dhmonstuatiox ik Lon
don. The great Reform demonstration in
London on Monday was a splendid success.
No cheers for the Frince of Wales, none for
Prince Alfred, each of whom witnessed the
display, but nine cheers, from twenty thou
sand men, with uncovered heads, as they
passed tho American embassy; no "God save
the Queen" from tho various bands, but
"Yankee Doodle," tho "Marseilles," "John
Brown," and tho "Garibaldi" hymn, these,
together with such mottoes as "Liberty,
Equality, and Fraternity," "Manhood Suf
frage," "Taxation without Representation is
Tyranny," sufficiently indicate tho character
and animus of tho great demonstration.
The English nation is fast approaching a
crisis whoso only issues will be radical reform,
or a tremendous revolution. Meanwhile the
Government palters, and apparently fails to
comprehend tho gravity of the situation.
Pkocress op Liberia. As Americans, we
cannot fail to feel an interest in the progress o
the young Republic of Liberia, founded by
colored settlers from the United States, in
West Africa. A few months since ono of tho
citizens of Liberia. J. L. Crusoe, sent to the
United States for a vessel to be built and
named "Edina," after the place of his resi
dence, at the mouth of the St. John's river.
On Thursday next, another vessel will be
launched in New York, to be called the A.
Lincoln, built for tlw enterprising firm of
AL.fiill & Brother, at Monrovia. Tho Edina
cost t10,000, and the A. Lincoln, $15,00(1.
Tim latter will sail for Lilieria on the 20th ot
this month. The trade of Liberia in palm, oil,
camwood, sugar, coffee, ginger, ivory, etc., is
steadily increasing. Would it not be well to
have a lino of vessels running from Philadel
phia to Liberia?
A Sound and Loyal Piiowio. Tho Su
nn-mo Court of the District of Columbia has
unanimously decided that Rebels cunnot prac
tise before it. They hold that tho late decision,
by a bare majority of one, of tho Supremu
Court in the Garland case, does not apply to
or bind the Court in the District. Tho alio
opinions read by Chief Justice Cartter, and by
Associate Justice Wylie, not only enuncurto
good sound law, but they are in harmony with
the feelings and judgment of the loyal masses
of the land. Let us rejoice that there is one
United States Court, at least, where the spirit
of tho infamous Dred Scott decision doxs not
bear swayj ; -
